Answers:
There are so many recipes and I have no idea what kind you want to make, so I just posted a sheetcake, I also didnt know if you wanted a layer or sheet cake, sorry, more info would help
TEXAS SHEETCAKE
2 c. sugar
2 cubes butter (1/2 lb.)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. sifted flour
1 c. water
4 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 c. sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp. soda
Mix sugar, flour and salt. Bring butter, water and cocoa to a boil. Take from heat immediately.
To dry ingredients add sour cream, eggs and soda. Mix all together; batter will be very thin. Pour into greased and floured jello roll size pan, 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Do not overbake. (Ice while warm.)
ICING:
1 box powdered sugar
1 cube butter
4 tbsp. cocoa
6 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Boil milk, butter, cocoa until bubbly; add powdered sugar, vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add nuts. Spread on cake while warm.
Look in any cook book or online recipes. If you already have a recipe for cupcakes, just adjust the baking time based on the pan size. Don't forget to grease and flour the pan so the cake will come out.
